No official intelligence has yet been received by Government from our Fleet off Cadiz, but the 'Cap.. fain, of a Privateer, who has arrived At Dartmouth, states, that on the toth inst.

TiVoNAPAnT i E has at length thought fit to relax in some slight degree the rigid and absurd commercial regulations taliirh he had established in Holland. The unfortunate Dutch are permitted to etpdrt butter; cheese, and geneva,. to the Ports of Neutral and Allied, Powers ; but great care is taken to prevent any intercoarse with this C,:untry. The intelligence from Spain, if it 'deserves the name of intelligence, is eXatitlY such as we cx. petled to find in the French and Dutch Papers. The most 7erfeet tranquillity is stated to reign in Catalonia, Arragon,Valentia, Grenada, Estretnadurai and the coast of St. Andero and Castile . ; and fli4 time of General .MtntaT is wholly taken up, we are told, with receiving " congratulations and homage from the Authorities and Nobles of the Kingdpm 1" One of the Dutch Papers eontains a ProClamation . piohibiting in Holland any public stibscrlption for Loans to Foreign Powers or to ludividuals. The following Proclamation had. been published in Spain in the name of the Prince of A.STVRIAs. His name has probably been used on this oceasion by some of the Patriotic Nobles, .for we hardly think that, in his present state of confinement, be would venture to issue such a ProclainatiOn,leven if lie had the means, Which we very much doubt " NOBLE :kart; t ANS !-I am surrounied on every side, and a viaim of the most cruel perfidy.

It brings no official accounts of the operations io land, bin private Letters state, that the Russians have been defeated in two general a..lions, and that it is supposed they will completely , evacuate Finland before the end of this month. It is also mentioned, in some of the Letters brought by this Mail, : that the Kt gG of I)2NMARK had mak overtures for a , Ne gdtiation, both with Great Britain and Sweden. We shall by no-means be surPrizedfo find that the Ithay of DtsN..AtttC has begun , to discover • the intpUlicy of thin system be has adopted, or that he should eu.. deavour to extricate himself from that state . of WIS.. salage in which he voluntarily placed himself with respeli torrance. He has lately had reason to observe that no services rendered to BUONAYARI 6, no saa r i.. fices made to promote his interests, make ouy.perma, nem inipreoion upon his mind, and that he depose, with equal indifferitice, a friend or cl foe, wheu it suits his convenience. It the scenes which'aW•now a6ling in Spain do not awaket, the EmperoriAttsSc- ANlnii and the King of DEN NIA 11 K. to a sense of their own situation, they must be in a state of infatuation; from which nothing can relieve them. When the Packet sailed with the Mail Colonel MURRAY had not renehed GottenburgliTand conse quently tio movement had taken place on the part of our Expedition. A Paper of yesterday, after commenting upon the ina&ivity of' the Expe ,dition under Sir JOHN Mooaa; 'states, th,st' 'it arose from an offer made .to AdMiral KEATS 'and Sir JoIIN MooitE, by some of the prin cipal people in Norway, to withdraw themselves from all connexion - with Denmark, to open their ports to the British, and t,CI 'Make peace . with Swe den, 'provided Great - Britain would not employ her 'forces against them, and that, under these cir cumstances, the British Commanders had, - written home for farther instruaions. We are enabled to state positively that there is no foundation whatever for the above statement. We have every reason to believe that the difficulties that did subsist have been before this time removed. ,THE Chanbel Fleet sailed on Saturday .from. Tor bay to resume its /t.itionoff.Brest.
